Audit your marketing lists in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between tabs to check subscriber counts. Use `list_marketing_lists` to pull your current segments and `get_list_details` to verify growth trends instantly. Your agent parses this data to highlight lists that need attention. It turns raw counts into actionable summaries without you opening the dashboard.

Monitor campaign performance via Claude Desktop

Run `get_campaign_performance_summary` to see how your latest blast performed. The tool returns hard numbers on sends, opens, and clicks. Claude Desktop displays these metrics so you can compare results against past sends. Use `list_successfully_sent_campaigns` to build a history of your outreach efforts.

Locate specific contacts inside Claude Desktop

Find individual subscribers using `search_contacts_by_email` to see their status. It bypasses the search UI entirely. Once you have a match, call `get_contact_profile` to view their history. You get the full picture of a contact's engagement in seconds.
